Check Out the New Clothing Line, Valleywood!

We talked with aspiring rapper/singer and model Chanel from MTV's Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory and she told us about her new clothing line that she helped create, called Valleywood! Her clothing is available at valleywoodclothing.com and pacsun.com. Also check out her MySpace page!

17: How did you get involved with Valleywood?

Chanel: It's crazy at first they wanted me to model for a different line but the father company decided that they wanted me to do my own line. They thought it would be a good idea especially because I started telling them all of my ideas for my own line and they really liked it.

17: What are some of your favorite Valleywood shirts?

Chanel: There is a shirt that has the Los Angeles skyline with two palm trees in front of it. I feel like it represents what the line is. The line is very West Coast/ California influenced.

17: Where did you get the name Valleywood?

Chanel: I came up with the name because I was born and raised in the Valley, but I'm still in the Hollywood scene. The reason it's called Valleywood is because it's for a valley girl in the Hollywood scene and lifestyle.

17: Are you going to expand the collection beyond t-shirts and sweatshirts?

Chanel: We are working on some really cute jeans right now. The material is great — they're really stretchy. I think they are the type of jeans that are going to fit everybody. I'm really stoked.

17: What's the best way to wear a Valleywood shirt? Do you have any style tips?

Chanel: It's really casual, but if you put the right accessories with it you can be really dressed up. Last night I performed and I wore my black and gold Valleywood shirt and a lot of gold accessories. My makeup and hair were all dolled up and I had on black and gold boots so it looked like a fancy outfit. But, if you wear it with shorts and sandals then you have an outfit to wear to the beach. That's what I really love about the line — you can mix it up and dress it up or dress it down. It's really versatile.
